Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. 15,1921.

Application filed August 31, 1920. Serial No. 407,107.

To all 20 7mm it may concern Be it known that 1, JOHN TARAsoFF, citizenof Russia, residing at New York. inthe county of New York and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in CuttingSystems, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to tailors patterns employed in cutting garmentshaving more particular reference to a pattern for use in cutting coats.

The invention has for an object to provide a novel tailors patternadapted to facilitate the laying out of the coat.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects andadvantages thereof, reference will be had to the following descriptionand accompanying drawings, and to the appended claim in which thevarious novel features of the invention are more particularly et forth.

The figure of thedrawings is a face view of a pattern constructedaccording to the invention.

In the drawings the numeral 8 indicates the paper on which the patternis laid out, while 9 indicates the front part of the coat as cut and 10the back part. In the present instance the patternis based on theproportions comonly known as regular? For instance the breast of thecoat would have a measurement of 38 inches and the waist measurement of35 inches for a man whose height is 5 feet 8 inches, the pattern beingbased on a novel system employing the breast measurement as a unit.

Along this paper are marked a series of horizontal lines comprising atop line 11, a

breast line 12, a waist line 13, a seat line 14 and a bottom line 15.

Extending vertically, or substantially vertically, of the pattern are aseries of lines of which the lines 16 and 17 extend the full length ofthe pattern and the lines 18 and 19 from the breast line upward.

As above pointed out the breast measurement is employed as a unit ofmeasurement and V in following this out the distance along the seat line14: from the line 17 to the edge of the back portion of the coat is madeone-third of the breast measurement. The distance along the breast line12 between the upright lines 16 and 17 is one-quarter of the breast linewhile the distance along the breast line between the upright lines 16and 19 i one-sixth of the breast measurement. In laying out the backportion 10 of the coat the point at which the neck line 20 joins theshoulder line 21 is one-sixth of the breast measurement from the edge ofthe back portion, while the distance from the top line 11 to the breastline 12 is onequarter the breast measurement. From the bottom line 15 tothe bottom of the front part of the coat the distance is one-eighth thebreast measurement. From the point on the arm hole where the front andrear sections join the distance vertically to the breast line isonetwelfth the breast measurement.

Other measurements for the lapels and collar and shoulder line of thefront part of the garment may be arbitrary as desired, the use of thebreast measurements above noted determining the fit of the coat upon theshoulders and back.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire toprotect by Letter Patent of the United States is as follows:

The system of laying out coats for cutting which consists in providing apattern on which are marked a series of horizontal lines comprising top,breast, waist, eat and bottom lines; said pattern having also a pair ofvertical lines extending the full distance thereof at the armholeportion thereof, and a second pair of vertical lines extending from thebreast line to the waist line in front of the armhole, proportionalmeasurements along the seat, breast and top lines heinp,- based on thebreast measurement as a unit, while the distance between the top andbreast lines is made one-quarter of the breast line.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.

JOHN TABASOFF.
